A penalty from Jhon Arias and John Kennedy's last-minute strike secured Fluminense's berth in the Club World Cup final at the expense of Al Ahly.

The breakthrough came for the Copa Libertadores champions when Marcelo controlled a crossfield ball, nutmegged Percy Tau and then ran across the line of the forward who brought him down in the area.

Arias calmly stroked the spot-kick into the inside side-netting 19 minutes from time.

Although it was a fairly even contest and the African champions had chances in both halves, the Rio giants were very close to taking the lead twice in the first half when Arias twice saw his effort come back off the post.

Al Ahly threw everything and everyone forward looking for an equaliser in the closing minutes and substitute John Kennedy, just as in the Copa Libertadores Final, scored after coming on from the bench.

Matheus Martinelli set the striker up on the edge of the area where he turned and clinically finished leaving goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy with no chance.

Fluminense will play the winner of Manchester City and Urawa Red Diamonds on Friday.

TRIPLE CHANGE FOR AL AHLY

Taher comes on for Kahraba.

KAHRABA GOES DOWN IN THE BOX

Melo had his hands on the striker's back but not enough contact to be a spot kick.

He threw a bottle in disgust at the decision.

Yellow card

M. Abdel Monem

Al Ahly

67'

Marcelo controlled a long cross-field ball beautifully and then nutmegged Tau before cutting across the forward's path and falling to the ground. VAR will check it. Difficult to overturn a decision either way you would think.

63'

The Egyptian forward cuts in from the right and guides an effort just inside the far post but Fabio pushes the effort away to his left, denying Kahraba an effort to notch a rebound.
